We had to make water today, but the harbor is less than ideal for water making. So, we took a little trip out of the harbor to the southern end of Elbow Cay. We anchored off of Tahiti beach. At low tide the beach extends pretty far into The Sea of Abaco, where you can walk and collect shells. It was beautiful. The water was a little cold for snorkeling, and I had to wear a wetsuit to get in.
It wasn't long before Uncle Bobby showed up with his boat to take us fishing. We left Never For Granted anchored, and went fishing in Tilloo cut, which is between Elbow Cay and Tilloo Cay. Deason and Bobby caught 3 fish, two were keepers (we think they were grunts), and the only thing Chris or I caught was the bottom. Which caused me to loose the tackle off of the rod I was using.
We got back to the harbor just about 4 pm with a full tank of water. I had made 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies during the afternoon and on our trip back so we could bring them Christmas caroling. There was a huge turn out for caroling, probably about 60 people. We had a great time, the only problem was the roads are so narrow, and we were all stretched out. If you were anywhere near the back of the pack you didn't know what song they were singing until halfway through the song. The fun part was after, they served us all soused chicken (a classic Bahamian dish) and all the goodies everyone brought for dessert.
